Inclusive Early Childhood Education

Graduates with an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Inclusive Early Childhood Education are early childhood educators who can work with, and meet the needs of, families and children from infant-toddlers through primary children in child-care settings. They may serve as child-care administrators, head teachers in day care and Head Start programs, family child-care providers, and family advocates and parent educators in community service agencies.
They also meet the requirements of the federal legislation, which require that paraprofessionals in public schools have a minimum of two years of college. Graduates may be eligible for licensure in the State of Ohio as an Educational Paraprofessional Associate.

Bowling Green State University programs leading to licensure, certification and/or endorsement, whether delivered online, face-to-face or in a blended format, satisfy the academic requirements for those credentials set forth by the State of Ohio.

Requirements for licensure, certification and/or endorsement eligibility vary greatly from one profession to another and from state to state. The Inclusive Early Childhood Education program requires professional licensure.

Under the Higher Education Act Title IV disclosure requirements, an institution must provide current and prospective students with information about each of its programs that prepares students for gainful employment in a recognized occupation.
The Inclusive Early Childhood Education program is not a recognized occupation that requires a Gainful Employment disclosure.
